A moment is calculated by M = (r x F), or for the lazy way, d*F, where d is the distance perpendicular to the line of action F is acting on.
Since the problem is being ebil by not giving us the length of the jib arm, we'll have to utilize an additional variable which I'll call d.
M = [cos(25)*d]*5000*9.81 N*m
I believe the problem is saying that the maximum safe load based on moment is always the value above. θ is the independent variable, and F is the dependent variable.
